However, it cannot better achieve the effect of transporting empty packaging boxes to the next stage. Therefore, we propose an empty packaging box sorting device. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a packaging box empty box sorting device, which solves the problem of a packaging box empty box sorting device in related technologies.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model is a packaging box empty box sorting device including an operating table, a packaging mechanical claw is provided on the top of the operating table, and a transport device is provided on the side of the operating table.

[0007] The transport device includes a base slidably connected to the side of an operating table. A groove is formed on the top of the base, and a motor is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a pulley is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod. A belt is mounted on the circumferential surface of the pulley. A connecting column is rotatably connected to the inner side of the groove. Two pulleys are provided, one of which is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting column. A slot is formed on the top of the operating table, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slot, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve. The overall function is to use the motor to drive the threaded rod and pulley, causing the empty box to slide along the operating table and fall onto the belt for transport, thereby achieving specific automated transport and position adjustment functions.

[0008] Optionally, the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the limiting rod, and a lower arc plate for drainage is fixedly connected to the side of the operating table. These components are designed to provide an adjustable object guiding system, making operation more precise and stable.

[0009] Optionally, one end of the lower guide arc plate is located directly above the belt, and the top of the lower guide arc plate is located on the displacement trajectory of the push rod. The function of the lower guide arc plate is to optimize the guidance of items during belt conveying, ensure the stable flow of objects or materials, and work in conjunction with the push rod to avoid leakage or unnecessary deviation.

[0010] Optionally, one end of the threaded rod penetrates the inner side of the slot and is located inside the slot, and the circumferential surface of the threaded rod is configured with a reciprocating thread. By engaging with the slot and employing a reciprocating thread design, the threaded rod can achieve precise reciprocating displacement during rotation, effectively controlling the range of motion and avoiding deviation, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the mechanical system.

[0011] Optionally, a sorting device is provided on the inner side of the groove. The sorting device includes a rack, the side of which is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove. A half-gear is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting column. A collection box is fixedly connected to the side of the base. The top of the collection box has a small-diameter slot and a large-diameter slot. A scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the rack. The entire system, through the coordinated operation of the sorting device, rack, half-gear, and collection box, can efficiently and accurately sort and classify items and push them to different collection areas, realizing automated sorting and processing of items.

[0012] Optionally, the top of the collection box is located on the conveyor belt's transport track, and on the displacement track of the top displacement scrapers of the large-diameter slot and the small-diameter slot. This design is intended to push the packaging boxes into the large-diameter slot for sorting and collection when the packaging boxes are of different sizes and cannot fall into the collection box through the small-diameter slot, using the scraper.

[0013] Optionally, the rack meshes with the half-gear, and there is a gap between the side of the scraper and the side of the belt. The meshing of the rack and half-gear ensures the accuracy of item sorting and operation, while the gap between the scraper and the belt ensures the smoothness of the equipment, reduces wear, and improves the overall efficiency and durability of the system.

[0014] Optionally, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate. One end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the other end of the rack. This design, through the elastic action of the return spring, allows the rack to accurately return to its initial position, maintaining the system's smooth, precise, and efficient operation, while also increasing the equipment's reliability and durability.

[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model achieves automated transportation and position adjustment through the coordinated operation of components such as a motor, threaded rod, threaded sleeve, limiting rod, pulley, belt, and push rod. When the motor is started, it drives the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod drives the pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the belt to rotate. The belt then drives another pulley to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the threaded sleeve to reciprocate horizontally under the constraint of the limiting rod. This reciprocating horizontal movement of the threaded sleeve drives the push rod to reciprocate horizontally, thus pushing the packaged box, packed by the packaging machine's gripper, onto the lower guide plate. The packaged box then slides onto the top of the belt for transport. This achieves specific automated transportation and fulfills the function of position adjustment.

[0017] 2. This utility model achieves efficient and precise sorting and classification of items, pushing them to different collection areas, thus realizing automated sorting and processing. Starting the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives the pulley to rotate. The pulley's rotation drives the belt, which in turn drives another pulley to rotate. The pulley's rotation drives the connecting column to rotate, which in turn drives the half-gear to rotate. The half-gear's rotation drives the meshing gear to move horizontally, which in turn drives the scraper to move horizontally. The scraper's horizontal movement pushes the packaging boxes through slots of different diameters into the collection box for separation and collection. This achieves efficient and precise sorting and classification of items, pushing them to different collection areas, thus realizing automated sorting and processing of items.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 The first embodiment of this utility model proposes an operating table 1, with a packaging mechanical claw 2 on the top of the operating table 1 and a transport device 3 on the side of the operating table 1.

[0031] The transport device 3 includes a base 31, which is slidably connected to the side of the operating table 1. A groove 32 is formed on the top of the base 31. A motor 33 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove 32. A threaded rod 34 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 33. A pulley 35 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 34. A belt 36 is provided on the circumferential surface of the pulley 35. A connecting post 37 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the groove 32. There are two pulleys 35, one of which is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting post 37. A slot 38 is formed on the top of the operating table 1. A threaded sleeve 39 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 34. A limit rod 310 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slot 38. A push rod 311 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve 39. The overall function is to drive the threaded rod 34 and pulley 35 through the motor 33, causing the empty box to slide along the operating table 1 and fall onto the belt 36 for transport, thereby achieving specific automated transport and position adjustment functions.

[0032] The circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve 39 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the limiting rod 310, and a drainage lower arc plate 312 is fixedly connected to the side of the operating table 1. These components are designed to provide an adjustable object guiding system, making operation more precise and stable.

[0033] One end of the lower guide plate 312 is located directly above the belt 36, and the top of the lower guide plate 312 is located on the displacement trajectory of the push rod 311. The function of the lower guide plate 312 is to optimize the guidance of items during the conveying process of the belt 36, ensure the stable flow of objects or materials, and work in conjunction with the push rod 311 to avoid leakage or unnecessary deviation.

[0034] One end of the threaded rod 34 penetrates the inner side of the slot 38 and is located inside the slot 38. The circumferential surface of the threaded rod 34 is configured with a reciprocating thread. By engaging with the slot 38 and employing a reciprocating thread design, the threaded rod 34 can achieve precise reciprocating displacement during rotation, effectively controlling the range of motion and avoiding deviation, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the mechanical system.

[0035] In this embodiment, the motor 33 is started, and the motor 33 drives the threaded rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 34 drives the pulley 35 to rotate, the pulley 35 drives the belt 36 to rotate, and the belt 36 drives another pulley 35 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 34 drives the threaded sleeve 39 to reciprocate horizontally under the restriction of the limiting rod 310. The reciprocating horizontal movement of the threaded sleeve 39 drives the push rod 311 to reciprocate horizontally. The reciprocating horizontal movement of the push rod 311 pushes the packaged box packaged by the packaging machine claw 2 onto the lower arc plate 312. The packaged box slides onto the top of the belt 36 for transportation via the lower arc plate 312.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that: a sorting device 4 is provided on the inner side of the groove 32, the sorting device 4 includes a toothed rod 41, the side of the toothed rod 41 is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove 32, a half gear 42 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting column 37, a collection box 43 is fixedly connected to the side of the base 31, the top of the collection box 43 has a small-diameter slot 44 and a large-diameter slot 45, and a scraper 46 is fixedly connected to one end of the toothed rod 41. The entire system, through the coordinated work of the sorting device 4, the toothed rod 41, the half gear 42 and the collection box 43, can efficiently and accurately sort and classify items, and push them to different collection areas, realizing automated sorting and processing of items.

[0038] The top of the collection box 43 is located on the transport track of the belt 36, and on the displacement track of the top displacement scraper 46 of the large-diameter slot 45 and the small-diameter slot 44. This design is intended to push the packaging boxes into the large-diameter slot 45 for sorting and collection when the packaging boxes are of different sizes and cannot fall into the collection box 43 through the small-diameter slot 44.

[0039] The rack 41 meshes with the half gear 42, and there is a gap between the side of the scraper 46 and the side of the belt 36. The meshing of the rack 41 and the half gear 42 ensures the accuracy of sorting and operation of items, while the gap between the scraper 46 and the belt 36 ensures the smoothness of the equipment, reduces wear, and improves the overall efficiency and durability of the system.

[0040] A fixing plate 47 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove 32, and a return spring 48 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate 47. One end of the return spring 48 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rack 41. This design, through the elastic action of the return spring 48, enables the rack 41 to accurately return to its initial position, maintaining the smooth, precise, and efficient operation of the system, while increasing the reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0041] Compared to Embodiment 1, the motor 33 is further activated, driving the threaded rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 34 drives the pulley 35 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 36 to rotate. The belt 36 then drives another pulley 35 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting post 37 to rotate. The connecting post 37 then drives the half gear 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing gear 41 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the gear 41 drives the scraper 46 to move horizontally, which pushes the packaging box through slots of different sizes into the collection box 43 for separation and collection. When the half gear 42 rotates to the toothless position, the return spring 48 uses its own tension to drive the gear 41 to return to its horizontal position. The return of the gear 41 then drives the scraper 46 to return to its horizontal position, thus repeating the process multiple times.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
